Old Austin

I ran across a very cool site the other night that has historical pictures of Austin's roads from the 50's up through the present. Click Here.

This is 290 & 81 (now IH 35) sometime in the 50's. I am marveling at how much space there is on the roadways. Oh for a simpler time. Well maybe not. I do enjoy the tech boon we are in which nurtures my ADHD. Click photo to enlarge.



Here's a pic of 6th & 7th Streets at IH 35 looking south taken when I was 6 weeks old.
